The work of organizing the Salva

obtain a proportionate share in this
city of the national fund which is
being contributed to the organization
throughout this country for patriotic
work on the war frjjnt for United
States soldiers, is proceeding rapidly.
Campaign headquarters have been
opened at room 338, Brandeis Theater
building. -v
B. I. Dasent, director of the Omaha
campaign, announces the following
general committee, which will have

"The Salvation Army is one of the
officially government endorsed or-
tganizations working in this country
ana in curope xor ine Deneni u& our
soldiers and sailors. It is now in need
of $2,000,000 from the western states
with which -to support and expand
the work being 'done with our own
troops. . Not a dollar of this fund will
bo spent for any other purpose than
war work with our soldiers.
Army is Recognized.
"The Sabation Army was the first
organization to do relief work ioc he
soldiers 'in the present war. The
tremendous vahte of the work it has
accomplished during the last three
and a half years among the British
and French armies is well known and
officially recognized here and abroad.
Its work is in no sense a duplication
of the work now being carried on
by other relief organizations. Each
has its own separaW&nd distinct field
of activity, and all combined are only
covering a small percentage of the
entire field. The Salvation Army is
unique in that it was first in the
field, but last to appeal to the pullic
for funds. '
"It should be the aim of every one
In Omaha, as a patriotic duty, to as-
jst in every way possible this work

has gained in the front rank of the
cities of the union patriotically dong
thejr duty in support of our army."
A meeting of the Omaha general
committee was held this afternoon at
3 o'clock.
